Africa south of the Sahara is a land of wide-ranging traditions and varying cultures. Despite the diversity and the lack of early written records, the continent possesses a rich body of folk tales and legends that have been passed down through the strong custom of storytelling and which often share similar elements, characters and ideas between peoples. So this collection offers a hefty selection of legends and tales – stories of the gods, creation and origins, trickster exploits, animal fables and stories which entertain and edify – from ‘Obatala Creates Mankind’, from the Yoruba people of west Africa, to ‘The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars’, from the San people of southern Africa, all collected in a gorgeous gold-foiled and embossed hardback to treasure.

Legends and myths are folktales, stories passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. They increase our knowledge about some natural and super-natural phenomena that impact cultural beliefs and practices of a particular people at a particualr locality. As learning tools, they enhance our social skills and comprehension. Parents, teachers in formal and non-formal school settings, and family elders need to increase the current rate of teaching legends and myths to the same level or frequency fables are taught so that a people's cultural traditions do not get lost during their generation. Just as we received these stories from our great grand-parents, so should our children have similar or even better opportunities to receive same from us.

Excerpt from Ikom Folk Stories From Southern Nigeria This Institute was established in 1871 by the amalgamation of the older Anthropological Society and Ethnological Society. It has for its object the promotion of the Science of Mankind - Anthropology - by the accumulation of observations bearing on man's past history and present state in all parts of the globe. It investigates, in a rigorously exact manner, everything that can throw light upon the laws of man's nature: his origin, history, and capabilities of progressive development and civilization. It studies him structurally and psychologically, under the several types in which he is found in various regions; and comparatively, in relation to the rest of the animal kingdom. The ultimate object of the Institute, therefore, is to build up a Science of Man on a basis of well-ascertained fact, and logically deduced inference. As means to this end, the Council of the Institute has adopted a plan of operations, the principal heads of which are as follow:- 1. Meetings for the reading of papers and for discussion of anthropologied questions. 2. The issue of a Journal containing Reports of the Proceedings at the Meetings, with other matters of anthropological interest. 3. The appointment of Local Correspondents in all parts of the wall to collect information, and to aid the Institute in its operations. 4. The maintenance of a library, which contains sets of all the principal Anthropological Journals published in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, besides a large and valuable collection of books of reference, travels and researches, an extensive collection of photographs and lantern slides, and much unpublished material for the use of students of Anthropology. Fellows residing in the country, as well as in London, can borrow books from the library. 5. The appointment of Committees to conduct special investigations, as occasion offers, in the various branches of Anthropology. 6. Co-operation with the British Association for the Advaucement of Science, and with foreign scientific societies in anthropological investigations; co-operation with individuals and institutions in aid of explorations and in the establishment of local centres of anthropological study; and generally, the stimulation of individual and local efforts to further the objects of the Institute. The annual subscription is Two Guineas, which is due on election (unless such election takes place in the month of November or December) and on the 1st of January in each succeeding year. A Member may at any time compound his future subscriptions by the payment of £31 10s. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ikom Folk Stories From Southern Nigeria These evil practices have been practically stopped now, but the native_ beliel ever, although they know quite well that to call a man a witch is an offence for which they will get into trouble. As an instance of the native belief in the witch bird (the owl), I would mention a case which came under my notice. Some few years ago I happened to be having some bush cleared and some large trees cut down on the station at Okuni. An owl was disturbed from one of the trees which was covered with creepers, and flew out booting. One of the station labourers who knew a little English, said: Poor Okuni 1 I at once asked him why he said so, and he replied When them witch bird cry for day time, some man go die. I said, Nonsense, or something to that. Effect, and thought no more about it. Shortly afterwards the eleven o'clock bell rang, and (the boys went home for food. When they returned at one o'clock to work, the boy who had spoken about the owl said, Man done die for Okuni when them witch bird cry. I then sent to the town and found that a man had died in the morning. This was proof positive to the boy's mind that whenever the owl hooted in the daytime a man would die, and no amount of explanation would alter his belief. It was a case of I told you so.

Nigerian folktales are epic stories that can explain the world around us. These stories and myths have been told within generations. Nigerian folklore include proverbs, myths, "just so" stories, and riddles. "Just so" stories are designed to explain features of an animal, such as their appearance or their habits. Morals are either explicitly stated at the end of Nigerian folktales, or hidden within the text. Animals, especially the tortoise, hold prominence in the tales from Nigeria, and unlike other folk tales from Africa, there aren't many "trickster" figures like Anasi. Reading some of the stories from Nigeria, you may note that the stories bear similarity to some European folk tales, filled with poor peasant girls, royalty, and magical properties; however, many of the folk tales bear a magic that is all their own, with grand narratives readers have loved for years. The collection of Folktales from Nigeria consists of one book with 40 folktales collected from Southern Nigeria. The stories are full of mentions of strange institutions, as well as of rare adventures. Book includes: The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter How a Hunter obtained Money from his Friends the Leopard, Goat, Bush Cat, and Cock, and how he got out of repaying them The Woman with Two Skins The King's Magic Drum Ituen and the King's Wife Of the Pretty Stranger who Killed the King Why the Bat flies by Night The Disobedient Daughter who Married a Skull The King who Married the Cock's Daughter The Woman, the Ape, and the Child The Fish and the Leopard's Wife; or, Why the Fish lives in the Water Why the Bat is Ashamed to be seen in the Daytime Why the Worms live Underneath the Ground The Elephant and the Tortoise; or, Why the Worms are Blind and Why the Elephant has Small Eyes Why a Hawk kills Chickens Why the Sun and the Moon live in the Sky Why the Flies Bother the Cows Why the Cat kills Rats The Story of the Lightning and the Thunder Why the Bush Cow and the Elephant are bad Friends The Cock who caused a Fight between two Towns The Affair of the Hippopotamus and the Tortoise; or, Why the Hippopotamus lives in the Water Why Dead People are Buried Of the Fat Woman who Melted Away Concerning the Leopard, the Squirrel, and the Tortoise Why the Moon Waxes and Wanes The Story of the Leopard, the Tortoise, and the Bush Rat The King and the Ju Ju Tree How the Tortoise overcame the Elephant and the Hippopotamus Of the Pretty Girl and the Seven Jealous Women How the Cannibals drove the People from Insofan Mountain to the Cross River The Lucky Fisherman The Orphan Boy and the Magic Stone The Slave Girl who tried to Kill her Mistress The King and the 'Nsiat Bird Concerning the Fate of Essido and his Evil Companions Concerning the Hawk and the Owl The Story of the Drummer and the Alligators The 'Nsasak Bird and the Odudu Bird The Election of the King Bird

"Folk Stories from Southern Nigeria" appeal to the anthropologist within me, no less than to the lover of what children and older people call "Fairy Tales." The stories are full of mentions of strange institutions, as well as of rare adventures. I may be permitted to offer some running notes and comments on this mass of African curiosities from the crowded lumber-room of the native mind.
